Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 cup dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa), chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
- Gold leaf or edible gold (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease mini tartlet pans or line with parchment.
- Mix almond flour, all-purpose flour, and powdered sugar in a bowl. Add diced butter and blend until crumbly. Add egg yolk and vanilla, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Press dough into tartlet pans and prick the bottoms with a fork. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
- Heat cream in a saucepan until just simmering, then pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour ganache into cooled tartlet shells. Gently tap to smooth tops. Chill for 1 hour.
- Top with chopped almonds and gold leaf if using. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Don’t overbake the tart shells to keep them tender.
- Let ganache cool slightly before pouring to avoid separation.
- Chill thoroughly before serving to help the ganache set beautifully.
